Professional Standard Special Aspects: Norms Of Ethics (In Russian and English)

Abstract

Ethical standards are not included in the description of professions, suggested by the Ministry of Labor of Russian Federation. However, in the worldwide coaching practice the Code of Ethics of coaching professional bodies regulates professional activities. Professional ethics is the essential foundation for professional coaching activities: ethical rules governing the position of coach in working with clients, coaching interaction with customers, professional community and society in general. The approach taken by the Working Group is that Ethical Norms are recommended as a basis for formulating Ethical codes of professional coaching bodies in Russian Federation. Norms of ethics are included in Professional Standard “Coach” as one of the appendices.
